Warning: Fake Blind Bags Being Sold Online
The blind bags in the above image might look like a promising new blind bag wave, but sadly they're not. These blind bags are filled with the common bright colored bootleg figures, that have been sold on eBay for over a year now. The figures are in no-way close to actual figures, but the catch is that the blind bags actually look like something that Hasbro would make.
Right now they have been spotted at an Indonesian wholesaler, so it's possible that these will pop-up in other stores and website soon. Again: these are bootleg figures and there is absolutely no guarantee about the quality or safety.
Thanks to EclipsedFlame for the heads-up.

  1. So how do we spot the difference without buying and opening?

    1. Well just the blind bag packaging itself is fairly different so it should be easy to tell in stores, but I agree just by looking at the picture it looks like they just took wave 12's box. If you're buying online from where ever they are made I would be very careful or not buy online at all.

    2. The bags themselves were never officially made, the apple family themed waved bags were pretty different. I'm surprised they actually designed their own bags. Did a good job honesty. :/

    1. At that point you could buy random goods featuring ponies because those aren't even characters from the series plus they are overpriced.

    2. I think 99 cents stores would sell fake pony items thats where you can find fake mlp blind bags there too.

  4. WalMart and big lots gets in phony's WalMart even has the g3 kickoffs sold as store brand ponies under there "kid connection" label big lots gets in them under the generic label with there brand added to the box art so they aren't sold in bootleg packaging like some off branded .99 cent stores get. Big lots had knockoff g4 blind bag toys sold in 12 pack boxes retooled with g1-3 style heads and more generic clipart on there flanks including some with star of Bethlehem cutie marks on the unicorn twilight expys. The larger brushables knockoffs' tend to be an mega pony with random coat and some random two color version of g3 minty's cutie mark packed with g1 normal sized molds as fillies' in the gift sets at holidays they get loose boxes of g3 brushsbles of random colored minty clones. Hasbro ended up creating the generic bagged mlp brushables and eqg basics lines to have toys in range of the dollar store market and choke out the bootleg market it worked with transformers with the universe and current "genuine transformers" value lines
